A Restart, AKA: A New RP with our Old Characters (Post-Cadia, no Consortium)

OOC:

Okay, so here's how this is going to go down: This RP takes place post-Cadia (as in, our old FG RP post-Cadia). However, there will be no Consortium or anything associated with it (save for one character because Gorath begged me to keep her around in some way and I took pity upon him, oh and NO PLEASURE STATION YOU FETHING PERVERTS!!!). Instead, the start will focus on the various chapters and groups rebuilding their forces after the war on Cadia as the Blackguard contemplate going Renegade. If there is enough popular demand, I MAY, emphasis on MAY, reboot the Consortium as well, but they WILL be heavily toned down. So...yeah, that's it for now.

Tyranid monsters every*static* Cannot hold them much longer....astartes have fallen....knights and guardsmen *Static* the line but not for much longer! request *static* assistance from any who read this message!++

Arken: Although we have yet to properly rebuilt our numbers after our losses on Cadia...we can't leave so many to the Tyranids. Prepare the battle barges, several cruisers, and marshal the ninth, fourth, and first companies.

*Arken makes sure his scythe is sharp and his bolter ready. When these tasks are done, he departs to the Emperor's Wrath (one of the barges). First Captain Tarlain is already on the bridge.*

Arken *smirkng under his helmet*: How did I know you'd beat me here?

Tarlain *not turning away from a command console on which he is reading reports*: Because unlike you, I have to deal with fewer political problems. That and I had the first company marshaled before you gave the order. Oh, and I have a better sense of time then you. *Smirks*

Arken: Deadpan as always. Very well, First Captain, set a course for Blackhammer and have the navigators take us into the Warp.

Tarlain: Your will be done, Chapter Master. *They enter the Warp with all speed.*

Arken *upon seeing this*: Emperor damn it....of course this draws Orks....Let the two sides deal with each other. We'll finish the survives. First Captain, with me. I intend to make planetfall with the rest of our forces. *Arken and Tarlain go to the hanger bay and board a stormraven.
